1. Right, Bernanke, the protesters are there because they're

dissatisfied and disappointed with the growth rate of the economy. Nothing about the crimes of the banking industry.

2. oh please

the economy is doing exactly what he wants,....tanking

[civilisation]

3. extracting wealth from the 99%

We are not so much dissatisfied by what the economy is doing now,. as we are with what it has been doing for many years, extracting wealth from the 99% and shifting that wealth to the 1%. The changed is with the current failure to find another bubble to inflate,. housing, tech-stocks, war machine,. as the bubbles keep the illusion of growth alive,. .

What a stupid system, predicated on endless growth,. without it this whole capitalist thesis fails and tumbles down. look at the run on BoA.

4. Bernie is sturdy bridge for the message to cross

Into a political world of slow thinkiing and slower actions.

6. Bernanke,

One more illusionist in a world of hard realities.
